News Release
SCHOFIELD BARRACKS — Hawaii Exchange shoppers who think they have a top dog or cat bird or reptile can try to fetch their share of great prize giveaways.

Shoppers are encouraged to bring their pets to compete for prizes at the Hickam main store from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m., May 14, and from the main store, here, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., May 28.
All pets are welcome.

Contest categories
For both locations the following categories will receive prizes:
• Best Aloha Costume
• Best Pet/Owner Look-Alike
• Best Trick
• Strangest Pet
“For many military members, pets are very much an important part of their family, providing love and companionship, and easing stress of daily duties,” said Hawaii Exchange General Manager Robert Rice. “With the Patriot Pet Contest, the Exchange salutes these furry, fuzzy, feathered, and sometimes even scaly, members of the military family.”

From May 6 through June 2, authorized shoppers can upload a photo of their prized pet at www.shopmyexchange.com/ sweepstakes. One grand-prize winner will take home a $1,000 Exchange gift card, while two first place winners will each receive $500 gift cards. Four third place winners will nab $250 gift cards each.
For more information about the in-store pet event, shoppers can visit either Exchange’s customer service area.

More Online
Once the contest launches, rules and more information for the online contest can be found at www.shopmyex change.com/sweepstakes. “Just Say Treat” winners will be notified toward the end of June.
